"Really?" Li Shimin put away the disappointment on his face and looked at Li Yin expectantly.
Li Yan pretended to be deep in thought and said, "This watch is an expensive item even in China, I only bought ten of them, but they still have a batch of them in stock, I'll just buy them all when I go back!"
"Of course it's the best way, but my father won't let you suffer. How much money did you buy this watch from a Huaxia merchant? I'll give you as much as you want!"
"I won't hide it from my father, this watch is worth a thousand pennies!" Li Yin peeked at Li Shimin's expression when he said this, and Li Shimin frowned when he heard the price. This price is a bit expensive.
Although the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is booming, the treasury is not rich. Li Shimin is the king of a country, and of course he considers the overall situation, and the money is spent wisely.
Hearing this, Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to forget about it, let's not mention the expensive price. At that time, one minister will have it, and that minister will not. Those ministers who don't have it will definitely complain to the emperor, but every Give one to every minister, this is not a small amount..."
"The queen is right!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
Li Yin secretly shouted that he was exaggerating. If converted, this watch is worth four or five pennies at most. He said: "Father and emperor are worried about state affairs, and sons and servants should also do their part for Tang Dynasty." However, my son has a way to achieve the best of both worlds."
"Let's listen to it!" Li Shimin said.
"The sons and daughters gave the watches to the ministers in their own names, so that the ministers would not make things difficult for the father. As for the watches, the father only needs to give the sons and ministers 500 guan. My son is willing to bear it!" Li Min was righteous and impassioned, at this moment he suddenly realized that he was too bad, and he was actually playing a trick on Li Shimin.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other, thinking that this method is feasible, Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's just that this is too wronged you, five hundred guan is not a small amount!"
"My son's business has made a lot of money, and it can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people. Father, don't worry about my son!" Li Yin continued to act.
Li Shimin walked in front of Li Yin, unable to conceal his admiration: "If every prince and every minister can understand the general situation like Yin'er, why don't I worry about it forever in the Tang Dynasty? Concubine Yang, empress, Yin'er really When I grow up, I'm no longer the old horse-fighting generation."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines feel the same way!" Concubine Yang smiled and held Li Yin's hand affectionately, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!"
"Thank you for your compliment!" Li Min bowed respectfully.
The four of them were laughing and chatting, when the maids of honor came in with dinner, Li Shimin saw it and said, "What a coincidence, come, sit down, we'll have a meal together tonight!"
"Yes, father!" Li Yin was flattered, it was a great honor to eat at the same table with the emperor's father, and the grown-up princes and princesses could only dine with Li Shimin at family banquets...
After the last ray of the setting sun faded, the geisha of Caisiyuan finished their day's rehearsal and rushed to enter the bathroom to take a bath. On the corridor connecting the dormitory and the bathroom, a handsome young **** was surrounded by a group of geisha. , he was holding a note of different colors in his hand, dangling in front of the geisha, and kept saying in his mouth: "This is the emperor's, ten guan coins, this is the prince's, five guan coins, this is ..."
"I want the prince's..."
"I want it all!"
"Okay, you little rascal, you are so greedy!" After the little **** made an offer, the geisha clan fought over and laughed together.
As soon as he entered the palace, Xiao Lang was a passer-by. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong Wude of Tang Dynasty, the number of maids in Taiji Palace once reached four to five thousand. The number of maids in Taiji Palace is still no less than 2,000. These court ladies are naturally unwilling to live in the deep palace for years and lose their beauty. Therefore, some court ladies buy the whereabouts of the emperor and prince from the eunuchs. Create some casual encounters, hoping to be favored by the emperor and the prince, and become a master from then on.
After a burst of snatching, the little **** was robbed of all the notes in his hands, and put away the heavy copper coins. The little **** said: "Remind all girls, when you go out, change into a palace maid's costume, and if you are interrogated, say that you were sent by a lady." For the Ministry of Internal Affairs, someone over there will naturally make up a story for you.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wei!" The geisha laughed and sent the little **** away.
In the bathroom, the jade body was hidden, and the fragrance was overwhelming. A geisha came in from the door and went straight to a cubicle on the inside, "Sister Xiaoyi, what do you think this is?"
The geisha known as Xiaoyi turned her head, and it was Luo Xiaoyi who couldn't hide her charming face in the hazy mist.
"Sister Xiangxiang, what is it?"
"This is the place where the emperor will pass by tonight!" Wei Xiangxiang looked forward to it. She and Luo Xiaoyi were geisha who entered the palace on the same day. close.
"Sister Xiangxiang, Guanshi Liu said on the first day that he would be beheaded if he was found out! How can you learn from those people who don't want to die!" Luo Xiaoyi said anxiously.
Wei Xiangxiang said: "Xiao Yi, we geisha have only two ways to go. One is to stay out of the palace at the age of twenty-five. By then, we will be old and we can only marry farmers. It's a master!"
"Sister Xiangxiang, don't be confused, there are so many maids in the palace, who is not only outstanding in appearance, and how many people are favored by the emperor, even if it is a one-night pleasure, the next day is still the same as a court lady." Luo Xiaoyi Persuade.
"If a prince is born, wouldn't it be different?" Luo Xiaoyi's words made Wei Xiangxiang a little shaken.
"I think you should concentrate on dancing. If you are caught by the emperor at the banquet one day, that's the right way!" Luo Xiaoyi rubbed her sore arm and said.
Wei Xiangxiang curled his lips, and said: "We have been performing for those concubines since we entered the palace, and we haven't seen a single man until now. Our team is not the only one performing songs and dances in this colorful silk courtyard. Wait, I don't know what to do." When are you waiting!"
Luo Xiaoyi shook her head and stopped talking. Before entering the palace, Mrs. Chang told her to remember the word "forbearance", not to take any unnecessary risks, and let her appear in front of Li Shimin in the most reasonable way. .
Seeing that Luo Xiaoyi didn't speak, Wei Xiangxiang felt bored. While taking a bath, he opened another note, which recorded a route, and at the bottom was written that the sixth prince had dinner at Ziyun Palace, what time would he come out, and what he would pass place, also wrote some appearance and clothing characteristics.
